Confessions of a Girmitya
PodcastFactual
To be Indo-Fijian is to carry one of the most extraordinary origin stories in the South Asian diaspora. 147 years ago, Indians were taken to Fiji under Girmit, a British system of indentured labour that severed families and reshaped generations. In this special Girmit Day episode, Suhayla Sharif invites five Indo-Fijian Australians to confess what that legacy means to them today. There is black magic, caste, music, poetry, migration and a love story that crossed religion and class. Listen, only on SBS Spice.
